Bioaugmentation for accelerated in-situ anaerobic bioremediation

A successful anaerobic bioaugmentation was carried out on a trichloroethene (TCE)-contaminated aquifer at Dover Air Force Base, DE, using a microbial enrichment culture capable of dechlorinating TCE to ethene. A hydraulically controlled pilot system 12 18 m was constructed 15 m below ground surface in an alluvial aquifer to introduce nutrients and substrate into the groundwater. ...

Enhanced Bioremediation

Introduction Enhanced bioremediation is a process in which indigenous or inoculated micro-organisms (e.g., fungi, bacteria, and other microbes) degrade (metabolize) organic contaminants found in soil and/or ground water, converting them to innocuous end products. Nutrients, oxygen, or other amendments may be used to enhance bioremediation and contaminant desorption from subsurface materials. ...

Effective distribution of emulsified edible oil for enhanced anaerobic bioremediation

Abstract Recent laboratory and field studies have shown that injection of emulsified edible oils can provide an effective, low-cost alternative for stimulating anaerobic biodegradation processes. A pilot-scale permeable reactive bio-barrier (PRBB) was installed at a perchlorate and chlorinated solvent impacted site by injecting 380 L of commercially available emulsion (EOS® ) ...

Bioremediation Consulting Inc (BCI) develops an anaerobic chloroform-degrading culture

BCI’s newest culture is a microbial mixture (consortia) which can transform chloroform (CF) to dichloroemthane (DCM), a transient intermediate which is then converted to a non-chlorinated product. We have demonstrated that the culture can dechlorinate at least 10 ppm of chloroform. Dechlorinating Bacteria in BCI Cultures. To address single compounds or a mixture of chlorinated ethenes, BCI ...

Anaerobic Bioremediation of Acid Mine Drainage using Emulsified Soybean Oil

Batch incubation and flow-through column experiments were conducted to evaluate the use of emulsified soybean oil for in situ treatment of acid mine drainage. Addition of soybean oil, soluble substrates, and a microbial inoculum to the batch incubations resulted in complete depletion of SO4, 50% reduction in Fe, and an increase in pH to >6. A one time injection of emulsified soybean oil, lactate, ...

Cost Savings with Bioremediation

Introduction Prior operations at a former plating and hard anodizing facility in Santa Clara, California resulted in tetrachloroethene (PCE), trichloroethene (TCE), and cis-1,2-dichloroethene (DCE) impacts to soil and groundwater. In 1987, a groundwater monitoring program was implemented to monitor the plume. In 1998, CDM performed a natural attenuation evaluation for ...

Case study - Groundwater remediation of a contaminated site using enhanced anaerobic bioremediation

Chlorinated solvents are a common threat to drinking water sources throughout the United States. While handling and disposal practices today are more closely regulated and monitored, this has not always been the case. With dry cleaners using tetrachloroethene (PCE) and industrial manufacturing facilities commonly using a variety of solvents from trichloroethene (TCE) to methylene chloride, past ...

Anaerobic Bioremediation of Groundwater Using Edible Oil Substrate EOS® In an Unconfined Groundwater Aquifer

ABSTRACT: To treat groundwater contaminants in situ, enhanced anaerobic bioremediation processes can be stimulated through addition of soluble substrates. At a dry cleaners site located in San Jose, California, the goal was to find a substrate that is long lasting and easily distributed into the saturated soils. After evaluating several alternatives, in situ bioremediation using an emulsified ...

Enhanced Anaerobic Bioremediation of a TCE Source at the Tarheel Army Missile Plant Using EOS

EOS, or emulsified oil substrate, was used to stimulate anaerobic biodegradation of trichloroethene (TCE) and tetrachloroethene (PCE) at a former Army-owned manufacturing facility located in the Piedmont area of North Carolina. Previous use of chlorinated solvents at the facility resulted in soil and groundwater impacts. Ten years of active remediation utilizing soil vacuum extraction and air ...

Application of horizontal-flow anaerobic immobilized biomass reactor for bioremediation of acid mine drainage

The production of low-pH effluent with sulfate and metals is one of the biggest environmental concerns in the mining industry. The biological process for sulfate reduction has the potential to become a low-cost solution that enables the recovery of interesting compounds. The present study analyzed such a process in a horizontal-flow anaerobic immobilized biomass (HAIB) reactor, employing ...

A Citizen`s Guide to Bioremediation

What is bioremediation? Bioremediation is a treatment process that uses naturally occurring microorganisms (yeast, fungi, or bacteria) to break down, or degrade, hazardous substances into less toxic or nontoxic substances. Microorganisms, just like humans, eat and digest organic substances for nutrients and energy. In chemical terms, 'organic' compounds are those that contain carbon and hydrogen ...
